Ke$ha

 We drew names of pop stars out of hats to make an editorial portrait. I got Ke$ha.

Hot and dangerous.

Word Compositions

The first typography assignment was to cut out the word and place it in an environment to photograph. The second assignment was to illustrate the meaning of three words from a provided list. My favorite is stimulate. :)

the Lions Den

Above is the left half of my painting final. Its a master copy of Ruben's Daniel in the Lion's Den. The photo makes it look so small!! It's actually a 7ft x 10ft diptych sitting in my downstairs living room. I'll post the full painting next month when I make enough room to lay it out and document it together. Lately I've been interested in the process of hunting.

Optical Illusions

Justin and I drove north from Baltimore city for a good thirty minutes and took an exit called "Mt Carmel" and this is the site we ended up at. A harvested crop field. It was strange I've never explored one in the fall time. I wanted to capture the energy of the place at that moment. The orchestra of crickets at peace, warning calls of crows, buzzards circling. The thing is when I scanned this painting in it didn't look right. I started playing with it and looking in the mirror at it to try and figure out what was making it not feel right. Is this a bad thing that it needs to be tilted? I'm no painting major. I've always struggled with the restriction of a rectangle sheet of paper or canvas. I'm more of an organic, circles, spirals kind of person.

I always do these little collages

Here's its new spot for it outside of the gallery... and a close up of my favorite part. I caught that cuttle fish with my bare hands the first day I was at the beach. I didn't have my camera on me so I did a painting.

Italian Creations

Here's my work from Italy that was put up in the Sorrento Summer Exhibition at MICA. Sorry the pictures are small. The big piece is about 6 feet long.
